Vegas is our Disneyland

We decided that Vegas is like our Disneyland.. we get the same kind of excitement from being here that we did going to Disneyland as kids. It’s shopping, eating, entertainment, party paradise 🙂

When we got to the airport, we took the shuttle to the hotel, which I totally recommend. It’s only $12 each way (way less than getting a cab = more money to spend on fun stuff) and since I’m naturally nosy, I like to see where all the other shuttle-riders are staying 😉

Checked into the room, which is 100% lovely.

And after that, it was time for brunch 🙂

We knew exactly where we were going: Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris hotel.

We ate at Mon Ami last time we were here (the Pilot pretty much ate an entire coffee cake.. it was legendary), and couldn’t wait to go back. They have unbelievable breakfast, it’s always packed, you have a view of the Bellagio fountains + they offer gluten-free options

Drinkies while we waited for our table:

They brought out the most beautiful crispy gluten-free bread with warm olives, carrots, onions and garlic gloves, French baguette with butter for the Pilot

(I had a couple bites of bread since my entree was bread-y, but had quite a few olives. They were AMAZING)

For my entree, I rolled with the eggs Florentine on gluten-free bread. Potatoes were shared with the Pilot 🙂

It was everything I could have wished for. I haven’t had hollandaise sauce in FOREVER, so it was fun to try it again… and now, I’d like to swim in it.

The Pilot ordered the blueberry French toast, which he said was sweet and fluffy- almost like a cross between a pound cake and sourdough bread.

Two happy kids indeed 😀

After brunch, we took our food babies to the mall –I’ll post my purchases on the fashion page in a couple of minutes- and now we’re back at the hotel. I’m going to wake the Pilot up from his nap so we can hit up the pool before dinner 🙂

Enjoy the rest of your day and I’ll see ya in the morning with Summer Shape Up 2011 <3

Something to talk about:Do you usually prefer sweet or savory in the morning? For me, it depends on what kind of mood I’m in, but usually prefer savory. I lurve me some eggs in the am 🙂

I’ve never been to Vegas, but I’d certainly love to go someday soon! You should write a post/page about all of your favorite restaurants, attractions, and other things that you love in Vegas–I know I’d print it out for my trip!

If you went to Fashion Show Mall today (or, really, pretty much any shopping center on the strip), I am going to be a VERY jealous girl! Have fabulous time on your mini vacay. Can’t wait to see all the deets. : )

How fun! 🙂 That french toast looks incredible. I am definitely a sweet breakfast person. It is a rare occasion when I am craving something savory for breakfast! Hope you two have a great time in Vegas!

very envious of how you have easy access to so many wonderful cities and the Caribbean in the USA… the only bonus we have in Europe is that by the time it takes you to cross your country, we could cross about five 🙂 x

I usually go for sweet stuff if I’m having breakfast at home, but if I’m out, I almost always get eggs. Eggs florentine or egg white omelets with veggies are the usual go-tos. A mimosa takes care of the sweet part!

My husband and I totally say the same thing about Mexico being our “Disney World”. It’s an amazing feeling! I’ve never been to Vegas or the West coast for that matter, but I’m dying to get out there!

I go back and forth with my sweet or savory in the morning. Sometimes I’m feeling like a toast and eggs type of flavor and sometimes I’m feeling more of a fruity type of bfast. It really all depends on the day I guess!

i’ve yet to get to vegas, so i love reading your reports, gina! you’d be a great travel consultant for if/when i do get there…i feel overwhelmed by all the accommodation choices, alone!
love sweets in the morning. eggs to me are a light supper choice!
have a fabulous time!

Being Greek, I would have been ALL over those olives.. Like fitnessista on goat cheese! 😉
I crave sweet in the morning like 80% of the time. For me nothing beats a fresh fruit salad or green smoothie (or during colder times, hot oatmeal with bananers and coconut…hmm)! Btw, your room looks so swanky! “So Fresh, So Clean” by Outkast comes to mind 🙂

Oh, YUM, that french toast looks AMAZING! Hah, I’m definately a sweet breakfast kinda girl… and a sweet lunch… and sometimes even a sweet dinner… I could probably eat chocolate and fruit for every meal and be happy!
